Once upon a time in a land far far away.. lived a community of Choonfus in a heavenly green clearing.
Choo-choo, a young choonfus, dreamed of becoming the most loved choonfus in his community, and to find a way of making everyone happy.
One day, while helping her sister recover a lost toy inside a cave, Choo-choo discovers a magical horn of plenty that produces anything he asks of it.
Choo-choo discloses his discovery to the town and quickly he becomes the number 1 VIP of Choonfoland.
However, his neighbors’ requests become increasingly bizarre and annoying, until one day the horn stops working altogether.
That night, in panic, Choo-choo leaves town, hoping to fix the horn before the wrath of his community ruins his reputation and happiness.
Choo-choo encounters two characters on the road - a mentor and a joker - who also need to find a way to fix THEIR horn, and they undergo many exciting and dangerous adventures on the road to find the horn’s creator: a Sphinx.
The three companions finally find the Sphinx and Choo-choo solves her riddle, understanding that to fix the horn no tool is needed but the right attitude towards its gifts: not one of greed and consumerism but one of sharing and gratefulness. Choo-choo goes back home, and wise from his adventures he is able to teach them that owning so much stuff is not the key to happiness, but sharing and cherishing the right amount of stuff is.
